C H A P T E R   N ° 38 Maritime Ports (Part 3)

Dear reader,

Hoplon is delighted to present its latest article.

In today’s article, we will look closer at the relation between space weather and maritime ports.

This article will be part 3, and thus the last, of 3 articles focused on maritime ports. Combined, the three articles will explore maritime ports as a critical infrastructure (CI), the “system of systems” design, and the anticipated ‘mega disaster’ scenario.

Additionally, they will look closer at the connection between seaports and the energy sector and space infrastructure.

Moreover, they will discuss the notion of cascading risks, focused on the combination of space weather, the ‘system of systems’ design, and maritime ports.

Lastly, they will consider how space weather resilience can plays a significant role within maritime resilience.

In this article; C H A P T E R   N ° 38 Maritime Ports (Part 3), the following topics will be explored: Space weather and satellites, cascading risks, and space weather resilience.

Hoplon wishes you a pleasant read and hope to see you again soon!

In this article; C H A P T E R   N ° 37Maritime Ports (Part 2), the following topics will be explored: Maritime ports and satellites services, looking at the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) systems, and Communication capabilities enabled by satellites. Sub-topics include: ‘Navigation and tracking’, ‘Communication and connectivity’, ‘Performance and environmental monitoring’, ‘Safety, security, and emergency response’, ‘Operational efficiency’, and ‘Security and compliance’.

C H A P T E R N ° 20 The Rail Transport Sector

 

 

Dear reader

In today’s article, we will explore the relation between space weather and the rail transport sector. We will look closer at how and in what way space weather affects this sector, and discuss studies exploring the potential risk and vulnerabilities of space weather impact on the rail transport sector.

 

Hoplon wishes you a pleasant read and hope to see you again soon!
